This phase I/II trial studies how well gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) or PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) work in diagnosing patients with intermediate to high-risk prostate cancer. Gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 is an imaging drug that binds to prostate tumor cells and can be imaged using PET. Diagnostic procedures, such as gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 PET/CT and PET/MRI, may help find the presence of prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT02919111.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET for the detection of regional nodal metastases compared to pathology at radical prostatectomy on a per patient basis.
II. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of PSMA PET for the detection of regional nodal metastases compared to pathology at radical prostatectomy on a per patient basis using nodal regional correlation.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of PSMA PET for the detection of extra-pelvic nodal metastases, visceral metastases and osseous metastases compared to biopsy and imaging follow-up.
II. Safety.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive value for detection of regional nodal metastases in comparison to cross sectional imaging performed contemporaneously with the PSMA-11 PET.
II. One year prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression free survival, comparing patients with and without pelvic nodal metastases.
III. Correlation between SUVmax from PSMA-11 PET and short axis diameter of nodal disease on cross sectional imaging correlate to presence of true pathology.
IV. Incidence of osseous and distant metastatic lesions.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 intravenously (IV) over 1-2 minutes. Beginning 50-100 minutes later, patients undergo PET/CT over 30-40 minutes or PET/MRI over 50-60 minutes.
After completion of study, patients are followed up for 1 day.
